Sanctuary Piano Fundraiser Campaign

Transcription

1 Sanctuary Piano Fundraiser Campaign The music program of Wesley United Methodist Church is raising funds for the purchase of a grand piano for the sanctuary. This piano will provide the music ministry with more ability to lead the congregation in singing. It will also provide the ability to increase Wesley Church s musical presence in the community and to bring in a wider variety of musicians. To help reach the piano fundraising goal, please help in the either (or both) of the following ways: There are 88 keys on a grand piano. To help reach the goal, each key will be sold at $ each for a total of $10,000. I would like to purchase key(s) at $ each for a total of $. I would like to donate to the campaign.

Save the community of Your people from cowardly surrender to the world, from rendering unto Caesar what belongs to You, and from forgetting the eternal gospel amid the temporal pressures of our troubled days. For the unity of the Church we pray, and for fellowship across the embittered lines of race and nation; to growth in grace, building in love, enlargement in service, increase in wisdom, faith, charity, and power, we dedicate our lives; through Jesus Christ our Savior.
